DC Resonant Charging

[Hidden]

Here's a link to a site that really explains how the blocking diode (also known as a de-q-ing diode) works with DC high voltage.
This is a site for Tesla coils,but it shows the same results of Stans approach.
Good reading.Open discussion welcome here.

Quote from that site:

"Current cannot change instantly.
An inductor does not allow instantaneous changes in the current passing through it. This means that the brief firing of the spark gap does not instantly short-circuit the HVDC supply. This property of the inductor also determines how quickly the tank capacitor charges from the DC supply after each bang."

This is restricting amps in a dead short condition, the very important roll of the chokes

I am curious about the de-q-ing diode, i'll have to research that more specifically to better understand

Seems like they recommend a 3 phase power system .

By the time the signal gets to the cell the 3 phases combine to form one signal, 1 phase.  (Rotary VIC)

This signal would have 3x the frequency of each phase.

This signal would have a minimum voltage of maybe 1/3 peak voltage, and never reach zero!

For a single phase power supply you would have your voltage go from zero to peak, and Dynodon and Webmug are doing this, except their voltage is crossing zero.... this is the only thing stopping them from cracking the water in a resonant water fuel cell.

How do you know thats the only thing stopping them  from cracking the water  molecule ?

It might be 1  or 10 different things  ,  nobody knows .
